Sleep well tonight, dear Angel
Let not your fears awake
When Mornings light falls on your head
Find comfort in it's light
When hope seems so far away
It's closer than you think
Dear Angel of Joy
Sleep well tonight
A small girl of about 10, sat in an alleyway with her little five year old brother. In their short lives they had seen more than most people see in their life times. They were orphans by circumstance. Yet, they never lost hope. Some day things would be better. As she sang her lullaby, her brother slept in her arms. His Joy fueled her Faith. She reached up and caressed the necklace she wore. Her mother had given it to her on her fifth birthday. On the chain were two crests. Hers was Faith and her brothers was Joy. A smile played on her lips as she remembered her mother. Always happy and full of Light. She could capture any moment perfectly on film. It was a hobby her daughter loved. The girl remembered her father, for his great stories and the way he always made them laugh. Someday they would be a family again.
Her brother stirred and opened his eyes. He looked up at her smiling face. "What's so happy K?"
"Just thinking about mom and dad," She replied.
"Oh. Can you tell me 'gain K? 'Bout mommy and daddy? Pwease!"
"All right," K said almost laughing at the way her brother spoke. She talked for hours about their parents. She promised herself she wouldn't let her brother forget about them.
She had gotten to the good part of a story when something, in her bag, started beeping. She dug through her bag and retrieved the portable computer she'd forgotten about. Suddenly remembering everything her Aunt taught her, she discovered the beeping was connected to another world. She recognized it as a portal to, what her parents had called, the Digital World. She hit a few buttons and a Digiport was projected in front of them. She put the computer back in her bag, slung it over her shoulders and taking her brothers hand, entered the portal. Once inside the Digital World, she couldn't help but admire the wonder around her. She could tell her brother was excited, but she held tight to his hand. The last thing she needed was to loose him in a new place. A white cat walked up to the two children and stared at them.
"Hello. You must be the children of Faith and Joy we've been expecting," the white cat greeted.
"You can talk!" K said in astonishment.
The cat giggled. "You'll find we do a lot more than just talk. What are your names?"
"You can call me K.T. and this is my brother A.J.," K.T. replied.
"It's nice to meet you. My name's Gatomon," The cat replied.
"Oh my gosh!" K.T. exclaimed. "You're mom's Digimon."
"Then that makes meeting you even more special. Sadly I haven't seen Kari since the defeat of Malomyotismon."
"Due to the gate closing," K.T. answered.
"How did you know?" Gatomon asked.
"Just a lucky guess," K.T. replied rubbing the back of her head.
"Well I can definitely see who you take after," Gatomon began. "You have T.K.'s looks and Kari's personality and your brother has Kari's looks and T.K.'s personality."
K.T. smiled at this. Gatomon explained that both K.T. and her brother A.J. were Digidestined, but due to the circumstances surrounding them, their Digivices couldn't be delivered. That was why the two children were brought to the Digital World. Gatomon took them to meet Gennai. Once there, Gennai explained about their Digivices, crests, and Digimon. A.J. was too young to be given the responsibility so, K.T. would hold onto his Digivice for the time being. Gennai also explained about an evil Digimon who had recently gained power. It was up to K.T. and the other Digidestined, she would meet later, to stop the evil from spreading.
"Lilly! Hurry up, we're gonna be late!" A 12 year old boy yelled.
"I'm coming! I'm coming! Mark! Slow down! You know I can't run as fast as you!" Lilly yelled after her older brother.
"Fine sis, but we're really late. You just take too long to get ready," Mark said.
"You're one to talk," Lilly retorted. "It takes you 20 minutes to get ready. Five to get dressed and 15 to fix your hair. You're worse than dad!"
"Well you take twice as long."
"At least I don't just concentrate on one thing. Besides, as mom would say, you can't rush beauty."
"Really? I don't see any beauty here."
"Why you! I outa mess up your hair for that!"
"Took you guys long enough," An 11 year old girl with red hair stated, never taking her eyes off her laptop.
"Hey Sakura," Lilly greeted placing a strand of auburn hair behind her ear. "Sorry we're late, but Mark took too long on his hair."
"Did not!" Mark shot back re-fixing his blonde hair.
"Before we have another fight between you two, I must intervene. We are here for a reason you know," A boy, the same age as Mark, with a huge mop of brown hair said.
"No problem Taylor," Mark replied.
"Good. Now then, Sakura, why don't you explain why we're all here," Taylor asked.
"Gladly. I got an email recently from an old friend. You all remember Gennai right?" Sakura began. All heads nodded in agreement with her question. "Well, he emailed me saying that a new evil Digimon has been reeking havoc in the Digital World. Sadly, this Digimon has been on the loose for five years. As a result, there is no telling what kind of damage has been caused. Also, there seems to be a new Digidestined. He or she won't be joining our group for a while, but Gennai though we should know in advance. Gennai also gave us a starting place in locating the evil Digimon. The caves near Infinity mountain. Our Digimon are waiting there for us."
"Thanks Sakura. I say let's not waste any more time and go to the Digital World now," Taylor stated. Everyone agreed and they were soon in the Digital World.
Authors Note: Sorry this is so short. dodges things being thrown at her by angry readers I promise the next one will be longer, have more in it, and explain things a little better. I'll try and have it up by next week. This is the start of shifting the focus onto the children. The parents will still be involved, but this story is mainly focused on the children as I stated in the beginning. Anyway, please review. I know you want to. ;)
